Brother, 2023

Whose Voice Is This?, 2024
HD video, 4:3, b/w and color, sound, 14 min
Commissioned by Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art as part of a Living Archive residency, supported by the Goethe-Institut Uzbekistan. Central Asian Research Collective DAVRA
This film traces the evolution of sound, speech, and music in Central Asian cinema from the 1960s to the 1990s. Through dubbed voices, shifting soundscapes, and soundtracks, it reveals how Soviet ideology gradually weakened and Perestroika’s freedoms emerged, reflecting broader transformations across the region.
